UPDATE AUG '08: After a very short battle with bone cancer in that weakened right leg, his mum and dad - along with the support of the most wonderful vet clinic ever - helped Bear cross the Rainbow Bridge. He left with dignity and grace, giving kisses to the very end. We were unbelievably lucky and privileged to have had Bear to love for as long as we did. Thanks to all who loved him, and special thanks to Dr. Vana, who took such good care of our most special beautiful boy.Forums Motto:I love everyone and everyone loves me!I've Been On Dogster Since:
